Travel Firm Delighted With Popularity of Blog, Forums

MARLBORO, N.J., June 05, 2006 /PRWeb/ -- Faremax, Inc., online retailer of discount airline tickets, vacations and cruises, is proud to announce the success of its recently-added blogs and forums, available at www.faremax.com/forums/. The Faremax site, already popular as a result of its comprehensive travel information and guides to vacation destinations as well as the great deals it offers on a variety of travel solutions, has experienced an explosion in popularity since the launch of the new features shortly after New Year.

"I guess we've been taken a little by surprise," says Ilya Epshteyn, Faremax CEO. "Our regular visitors and clients had been asking us for some time to launch a forum where they could exchange ideas and ask questions about travel in general and specific destinations around the world. So we launched one - and the popularity of it has been amazing. There's a great community feel there, and already it's building up into a serious, up-to-date database of travel-related information."

The main Faremax Blog and Photo Galleries were launched simultaneously with the Forums, and feature regular posts from Faremax's team of travel writers. Recent posts have dealt with places as far-flung as Namibia and Mumbai, as well as useful travel tips such as the best ways to explore a foreign city and how to launch your very own travel blog to keep friends and family up-to-date with your adventures. The regularly updated photos section contains vibrant, color images of exotic and interesting locations around the world – helping visitors to the site imagine exactly what their next vacation destination with be like.

"The blog is great," says Epshteyn. "We have a bunch of very well-traveled, thoughtful people who also happen to be great writers. The information that gets posted on there is useful and interesting. The Photo Galleries are also getting a lot of interest. You could say we’ve got all bases covered: we offer great deals on tickets and provide images and a wealth of information to help people decide where they want to go. We hope our new sections will continue to provide a great service to travelers for a long time to come."
